Lately, my beardie has been glass-surfing a lot.
Recently i noticed two dark patches on his chin, where the scales have apparently been rubbed off.
What should I do to treat it?

Actually the dark areas are food and dirt from eating stuck to and covering the scales , it has no ill effects on them and will come off with a gentle rub with a bit of wet cloth or when the dragon sheds next.

I'd just provide a nice hard very rough surface in the tank to assist with the shedding process.

That's wonderful to hear, thank you!

It's either that or some skin darkening due to mood (likely related to irritation from shed). I agree that it doesn't look like the scales are damaged and I'll bet once the face shed is done everything should look normal again. Face sheds tend to really bug them sometimes (understandably).

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
